If you believe that homeopaty can cure cancer, and that every big pharma is trying to poison you, this can have quite big consequences. However, if you believe that moon landings are fake or the earth is flat, I have a harder time to find a scenario where it can harm you, so I don't bother. On a final note, in the 90's I was pretty convinced that Echelon was totally silly, and we know how it turned out. So I tend to be a bit more cautious on what is true or not.
